I can and do use whois.opensrs.net. However, for domains hosted at networksolutions (or register.com, etc), the full whois record can only be obtained by hitting their whois server. Not sure what you mean by "offering whois to various registrars essentially allows them to distribute their support costs..." It's my understanting that (as Internic, if that means anything anymore) Netsol is required to provide a public whois server. If anyone is paying for that service, it's netsol customers. Of course...I could be wrong, in which case somebody please enlighten me. :) -k
